Stories and experiences

These are some of the things I do and think about in order to beat my cravings: 1. Take several deep breaths exhaling out my mouth. 2. A 10-15 minute silent meditation just focusing on cool air into my brain and warm air flowing out of my nostrils. Then change the warm air to cool for 10 mins then at the end back to warm. 3. Listening to some music that suits my mood. 4. Pulling out weeds i...

I felt I had to post today because today I had a super strong craving, wanting to go get some smokes and smoke the whole packet. I feel if I can’t be honest about smoking here it’s not going to help me or others. Anyway, certain things trigger me and awareness about these helps a lot. Also I’m going to write down on a card why I decided to stop and study it when I crave. It might take me a good...

It’s all so worthwhile to qu...

Day 40 today I feel great love the taste of my food and saving $200 a week that alone is motivation and every time I think I want a smoke I look at my mountain bike I bought with my smoke money and the urge goes away. Stay strong everyone it really is worth it keep busy.
